Brief Description: We will hike
going towards the Chickamauga Dam at Highway 153 from Coolidge Park on the
Riverwalk. Join us for a hike in memory of our late club member Linda
Davis, avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast, and enjoy Chattanooga’s unique
park that runs along the Tennessee River. There is minimum elevation gain,
but care must be taken to walk to one side when bikers go by, since the
trail is also a bike path. We will hike 4 miles and turn around and hike
the 4 miles back. Lunch afterwards will be at either Rembrandt’s or Tony’s.
Approximate hike time will be 3 hours going both ways. Sorry, no pets are
allowed on this trail.

Directions to the Trailhead: Meet
at Coolidge Park in Chattanooga at 10:00 a.m. From Cleveland and points
north, take I-75 into Chattanooga, and turn at the Highway 153 exit.
Continue on 153 until you reach the Amnicola Highway exit, and turn left
(south) on Amnicola Highway; don’t go across the Chickamauga Dam
bridge. Continue on Amnicola for a while; it will change to Riverside
Drive, then Riverfront Parkway. Turn right on Georgia Avenue and cross
the Veteran’s Bridge. After crossing the river, take the Frazier Avenue
exit; once you are on Frazier, turn left on Tremont Street and then
right on River Street. The park is just a block or two on the left at
150 River Street; you can park in the lot or the parking spaces there.
Parking can be scarce.

Directions
to carpool:
Meet at 9:00 a.m. in the Commuter Parking Lot next to the Shell station
at Exit 25 in Cleveland. From I-75, take Exit 25 and head west. The
Shell station is at the first light past the I-75 overpass, on the
left. The Commuter Parking Lot is to the immediate right of the Shell
station.
